The law requiring that gasoline cans
be painted red and labeled with the
name of the contents goes into effect
-July 1. The penalty for failure to com
ply with the law is a line of not more
Hfty dollars or imprisonment in the
-county jail for not more than thirty
'lays. Now if the legislature will pass
si hiw to prevent people from using
gasoline stoves, we may be reasonably
-safe from llres from gasoline explosion,
ft is the person who allows the drip,
pan to get full of gasoline and then
starts the stove that causes the fires,
and not the party who mistakes the
gasoline can for the coal oil can.
The Lincoln Star's correspondent
ays that "Hill" Sanderson was arrest
Aid for criminal assault upon Mrs.
"Manspeaker. This is about as near to
dhe facts as they usually get unless
the items are purloined from The
Chief. It was Humphrey Etherton
who was arrested, and the charge was
aidultory. He was released on 8300
bond to a ppear at 1 o'clock this after
noon for a preliminary hearing before
Aeting Judge Will Edson. Sanderson
.and Van Dyke, mentioned in the Star's
report, have left the city for parts un
known, and considering developments
in-tho ease, It is doubtful if the author
ities will take the trouble to hunt
them up. However, should they vol
untarily return, they will piobably be
.arrested.
A tire at the home of Street Com
missioner John Tomlinson, Wednesday

when a neighbor lady called to him
that his house was nil re. He Is unable
to account for the manner In which
the fire originated. Mrs. Tomlinson
was in bed at the time, and J when she
Arose and rushed Into tho room where

" FOUGHT 'IN A FOG.
A Duel In Which Neither Principal
Could See the Other.
Tho most laughable duel ovor"fought"
hi France was that which took place
In November, 1878, at l'lessls-Plquet
between Messrs. Gatnbetta and Do
li'oiirtou.
Some heated words linil passed be
tween the two distinguished gentlemen
lu the chamber of deputies, Tor which,
according to their Ideas of honor, noth
ing could ntone except a duel. The
men met therefore oil the field at
tended by their seconds and the sur
geons. A look over the field wns enough to
convince any one present that thero
would be no occasion for the doctors'
Ncrvlces. A thick November fog hung
out the seono so thick, indeed, that
one could hardly sec his hand before
his face. The arrangements for the
duel required that It should be fought
nt thirty-live paces.
Nor was the fog the only circum
stance that tended to place the com
batants out of sight of ouch other. On
the way to the field M. do Fourtou Is
reported to have said:
"M. (.Jainbetta has but one eye, and
I am shortsighted, so the game will
be about even."
It was, of course, rendered still more
"even" by the fog. Neither man could
see the other, and the sole danger was
to the seconds and the doctors.
Almost miraculously the two bullets
that were exchanged missed the per
sons in attendance. Everybody's hon
or was satisfied and the whole party
went home. Oainbetta said that the
affair was as near to being a skirmish
In the dark as anything ho ever saw.

THE NEGRITOS.
Odd Marriago Ceremony of These
Barbarous Little People
Belonging as they do to the lowest
type of civilization as yet discovered,
the Negritos of Malaysia and their
ways are well worth studying. Simple,
primitive, bnrburous little people, their
customs nro those of prehistoric man.
They have no fixed home or settle
ments, but are -wanderers over their
mountainous Islands, sleeping under a
banana leaf, living on herbs ud ber
ries nml game.
Their marriage ceremony is n unique
survival of early life. Tho suitor and
n few companions dance about the
Bheltor of the desired girl. There Is
n curious resemblance between the
dances of the prospective bridegroom
and those of many of the game birds
of our woodland. Finally the girl, ac
companied by her mother, starts to
ward the dwelling of the youug men.
They frequently stop, squnttlng In the
trail while the ardent suitor and his
companions continue their entreating
and bewitching dances, winding round
and round the girl. Tresents nre gen
erally demanded and must be given
before the reluctant bride will pro
ceed. Finally the women arrivo near
n steep bamboo platform. A wild
shout pierces the air, nnd the bride
groom, like n frenzied animal, tears
through the Negritos nsscmbled at tho
baso of the platform, snntches tho
bride in his arms nnd tiles up the In
cline with his mate, where they sit
during the wedding feast. New York
Herald.
The Smell of the Dawn.
Of all hours of the day there Is none
like the early 'morning for downright
good odors the morning before eat
ing. Fresh from sleep and uncloggcd
with food a man's senses cut like
knives. The whole world conies In
upon him. A still morning is best, for
the mists nnd the moisture seem to re
tain the odors which they have dis
tilled through the night. Upon n
breezy morning one Is likely to get a
single predominant odor, as of clover
when the wind blows across n hayfield
or of apple blossoms when the wind
comes thtoiigh the orchard, but upon a
perfectly still morning It is wonderful
how the odors arrange themselves In
upright strata, bo that one walking
passes through them as from room to
room In a marvelous temple of fra
grance. American Magnzlne.
A Powerful Indorsement.
Many years ago there was oonslcter

attributed to the waters of the Susque
hanna river, then tho source of tho city

legislature for that year, upon his re
turn to his constituents, wns Inter
viewed concerning the plague. IIo
soon settled tho question. "Upon my
soul, gentlemen," ho declared, "tho re
port of tho foulness of tho water was n
slander on tho city of Ilarrlsburg. I
absolutely know the wnter to bo per
fectly healthful, for during the session
I drank tho water on two different oc
casions, and I never experienced any

FAIRIES IN IRELANDV "
A Boatman's Story of the Antici of
tho Little People.
Here Is u modern fairy story from
Ireland: "One day about twenty years
ago," writes a corrosjHmdont, "I was
fishing from a inat on Lough Derg.
1 Inquired of my boatmen If they had
ever seen fairies. At first, fearing to
bo laughed fit, they scouted the Idea,
but one of them told the following:
"On u Sunday he was returning after
mass and stood with a friend named
Sullivan on the bridge of Klllaloe.
Looking toward n potato field on the
slope of the rising ground to the east
of the town, a Held which he was able
to point out from the. boat, he saw
issuing from the llss u troop of "little
people,' one being distinctly taller than
the rest. At first they seemed rather
blurred, then took distinct shapes aud
began to play the national game of
hurley among the bare potato rigs.
IIo called Sullivan's attention to them,
but for some time lls friend could not
tee them, then said he could, and they
watched the game together for a time.
Then the sun went In. and the fairies,
moving toward the llss, as if return
lug to It, vanished. Llsses are rough
places, sometimes hillocks, sometimes
depressions, often bushy, but never
cultivated. I have been told they are
left as doorways for the fairies when
visiting the earth's surface." Chicago

HUNTING MAHOGANY.
It Takes an Experienced Woodsman to
Locate tho Trees.
Mahogany trees do not grow In clus
ters, but are scattered throughout the
forest and hidden In a dense growth
of underbrush, vines and creepers aud
require a skillful and experienced
woodsman to find them. He seeks the
highest ground lu n forest, climbs to
the top of the tallest tree nnd surveys
the surrounding country. Tho mahog
any has n peculiar foliage, and his
practiced eye soon detects the trees
within sight.
The axmcu follow the hunter, and
then come the sawyers and hewers, a
large mahogany tnklng two men a full
day to fell it. The tree has large spurs
which project from the trunk nt IU
baso, and scaffolds must bo erected so
that the tree can be cut off above the
spurs. This leaves n stump ten to fif
teen foot high, which is sheer waste,
ns the stump really contains the best
lumber.
Tho hunter hns nothing to do with
tho work of cutting or removing the
tree, his duty being simply to locate
it. If he is clever and energetic, his
remuneration may amount to $.KX) or
$1,000 n month, but he may travel
weeks nt a time without detecting n
tree, and as he Is generally paid by
results his earnings are rather precari
ous. St. Louis Republic.
Biblical Repartee.
Justice Jeremluh Illack of Pennsyl
vania, in reviewing a case that came
up from th court of his old friend
Judge Moses Hampton, remarked,
"Surely Moses must have been wan
dering In tho wilderness when he
made his decision," and sent the case
back to the lower court. Judge Hamp
ton on its second trial remarked Unit
although he would have to submit to
higher authority, he still thought ho
was right in spite of the "lamentations
of Jeremiah."
The Fallen Mighty.
"It Isn't necessary to go to the Wal

A Striking Monument.
Nowhere In the world can bo found
a more striking monument than that
erected on tho shores of Lake Issy
Kul, In central Asia, in honor of tho
Russian General Prjcvalskl, a famous
explorer of that region. The tomb is
hollowed ont in the summit of n jut
ting cliff on tho eastern margin of tho
lake, and the monument consists of an
enormous rough hewn block of gray
grnnlte, twenty-fivo feet high, over
which is thrown a chart of central
Asia.
